About Me


I'm quite the computer late-bloomer, so I'm thankful that my beauty of a daughter, Candace, helped me finally set up this page. I'm still stuck in the eighties in many ways,(come on now, that's not all a bad thing) but I'm learning. If I had to choose anyone to be...I'd be me. I've been blessed with an incredibly exciting, intricate, eclectic life experience this time around. God has been sooo good to me. My entire life and career have been lived in the incomparable "World of Show Business"...and there really is..."No Business like Show Business, like No Business I know!" I was born in Chicago, have lived in too many cities to mention during my theater career travels, and have now made a full circle back to South Florida after thirty some years. My dad was stationed here with the Coast Guard when I was four years old, and I took my first dance steps in North Miami Beach. I feel so fortunate to have been guided back to this sub-tropical paradise. It will be 'home' for me, my daughter, my incredible angel mom, and eventually my son from now on. I have been performing, staging, teaching, directing and choreographing since I've been here, and I've loved every minute of that, but I believe it is now my turn to give back with my knowledge and talent to motivate others. So..I am making a career transition at this time...more like a "Career Enhancement" (I will Always be ready to "get out my tap shoes" and do another Show!...lol!) I have found my "spiritual home" here in Florida and I wouldn't want to start this new endeavor anywhere else! Simple things like going to the gas station and grocery store are a beautiful experience here, not to mention being able to do a lot of my work and studying on the beach. My theater career has spanned over 35 years. I was the original Tony-nominated star of the Broadway Hit Musical, "42nd Street", creating the role of "Peggy Sawyer", when I was just twenty-two, and went back to New York City several years ago to reunite with the incredible cast for our twenty fifth reunion. Where did the years go? Doesn't matter, because I've earned my PH.D. from the "School of Hard Knocks" and am making the best of life now, in the moment. I've lived a very full life doing what I love and getting paid for it. Who could ask for anything more? I have also been a certified hypnotherapist for the past ten years, am a professional cake decorator, and a certified personal fitness trainer. My official new title is "Human Potential Trainer" *;) I recently became a member of The Florida Speakers Association and am embarking on my new journey as a Motivational/Empowerment Speaker, which will soon be married to the "POWER of POSITIVE PRETENDING" workshops I am in the process of organizing to bring to the public. I have experienced an incredible Miracle in my life which has led me to my "Life's Purpose" work - teaching folks of all ages, especially the younger generation, how they can rise above life's challenges to create the life they want by harnessing the Power of their Soul...creating an Empowered life through staying connected to their Divinity. I feel so very Blessed that I have been given this Divine Assignment. It has become something that I am more passionate about than my career as an Entertainer......"Who would've ever thunk it?"...lol! I am working on two books at the moment: AND ........ I have also created HYPNOCISE by Wanda*, a 'mind over muscle' technique for weight loss, fitness and strength training, and FREE AT LAST* 'A New Discovery in Recovery from Addiction', which I am most proud of. It's my series of sessions to go hand in hand with any twelve step program to free oneself from addiction and the possibility of relapse. I am an extremely "Spiritual Being living a Human Experience." Many people scoff at Shirley Maclaine because of her outspoken views on past lives and speaking to "dead folks", but these things do occur...I'm living proof...ask anyone who knows me..*;) I get messages from the other side on a daily basis that lead, guide and protect me through this maze we call life. It is a tremendous gift and I don't take it lightly. Jesus has been a very real Presence in my life since I experienced a mystical Vision of Him as a very small child. My hunger for spiritual seeking and study over the last twenty-five years has led me to my biggest 'Dream come True'...My ordination as an Interfaith Reverend, embracing all Religions and Spiritual Truths. I'm now on to building a church, "The Rhythm of Life Cathedral", which will eventually grow into an Empowerment Center through the Arts, for the youth and the "young at heart". It will be located in Hollywood, Florida...truly in Paradise. I have been blessed with so many spiritual Gifts and Miracles. It is now my time to start on my journey of my "life purpose" work. If any of you are in crises or in need of a healing, and seriously believe in the power of prayer, please contact me either here, or at broadwaybabyinc@g-mail! I believe in "The Power Of Love" as Mr. Luther Vandross so eloquently sang. RHYTHM IS MY LIFE! I look forward to sharing the Light...and the Love! God Bless...Because He Surely Does! You are Strength
You Are From the Moon
You can vibe with the steady rhythms of the Moon.
You're in touch with your emotions and intuition.
You possess a great, unmatched imagination - and an infinite memory.
Ultra-sensitive, you feel at home anywhere (or with anyone).
A total healer, you light the way in the dark for many. What Planet Are You From?
